Re: Trouble with DispatchAction and ValidatorActionForm

[Daniel Watrous]

by adding 'validate="false"' to my action mapping the page now loads.  Is 
there some undocumented incompatibility when using DispatchAction and 
ValidatorActionForm together?

Subject: Trouble with DispatchAction and ValidatorActionForm


Hello All,
I keep getting a BLANK PAGE, with NO ERRORS.  Any recommendations are 
appreciated...

I am interested in building an Action that allows me to add a database 
record and edit existing records.  Since both actions deal with the same 
table I want to use the DispatchAction and keep the add/edit code in one 
class file.  Accordingly I made:

public class StakeAction extends DispatchAction {
   /** Add a Party */
   public ActionForward add (ActionMapping mapping,
           ActionForm form,
           HttpServletRequest request,
           HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
       PartyForm stakeForm = (PartyForm) form;
       return mapping.findForward("success");
   }
   /** Edit a Party */
   public ActionForward edit (ActionMapping mapping,
           ActionForm form,
           HttpServletRequest request,
           HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
       PartyForm stakeForm = (PartyForm) form;
       return mapping.findForward("success");
   }
}
I do want to perform validation on each action and so I wrote my 
PartyForm:

public class PartyForm extends ValidatorActionForm {
   private String name;
   private String phone;
   private String streetLine1;
   ...
   //gettters/setters
}
Now I should be ready to setup the configuration files:
first struts-config.xml
       <!-- Add a Stake -->
       <action path="/app/ManageStake"
type="org.onugjournal.wardlistapp.webapp.actions.StakeAction"
               name="partyForm"
               parameter="function"
               input="manage_stake.jsp">
           <forward name="failure" path="error"/>
           <forward name="success" path="/manage_stake.jsp"/>
       </action>
and in validations.xml
       <form name="/app/ManageStake">
           <field property="name" depends="required">
               <arg key="prompt.stakeName"/>
           </field>
           <field property="phone" depends="required">
               <arg key="prompt.phoneNumber"/>
           </field>
           <field property="streetLine1" depends="required">
               <arg key="prompt.street1"/>
           </field>
           ...
       </form>
to call the pages I use
<html:link action="/app/ManageStake?function=add"><bean:message 
key="navLink.addStake"/></html:link>
which ends up looking like 
http://localhost:8080/MyApp/app/ManageStake.do?function=add
